Thread: Rookie looking for help!

Code:

int k=0;
for(i=0; i<ARR_SIZE; i++)
    {
      while(k<ARR_SIZE){
                                      if (guess[i] == secretNumber[k] && help[i] != 'S'){
                                       help[i] = 'R';
                                       break;
                                        }
                                       k++;
                                      }
                                        k=0;
 
        for(j=0; j<=i-1; j++)
        {
            if(guess[i] == secretNumber[j])
            {
                help[i] = 'S';
            }
        }
 
        if (help[i] != 'R' && help[i] != 'S')
            help[i] = '_';
    }
 
    printf("help: ", help[i]);
    for(i=0; i<ARR_SIZE; i++)
    {
        printf("%c ", help[i]);
    }
}

Now, it will run 100%..... :-)

It will do _ RR_

And i don't know why it should produce _SS_
as you are replace R in case of right number but wrong place......

Okay, so i think you want something like......

Code:

int k=0;
for(i=0; i<ARR_SIZE; i++)
    {
                                            if (guess[i] == secretNumber[i] && help[i] != 'S'){
                                       help[i] = 'R';
                                       //break;
                                        }
                                       
        while(k<ARR_SIZE){

            if(guess[i] == secretNumber[k])
            {
                help[i] = 'S';
                break;
            }
       k++;
      }
   k=0;
 
        if (help[i] != 'R' && help[i] != 'S')
            help[i] = '_';
    }
 
    printf("help: ", help[i]);
    for(i=0; i<ARR_SIZE; i++)
    {
        printf("%c ", help[i]);
    }
}
